I was one miserable little 11 year old back on the weekend of August 16th 1969. I watched all the 20 somethingâ€™s from my neighborhood pack up and head upstate NY for a music festival and knowing that there wasnâ€™t a shot in hell I could ever go, pissed me off.

Â

It was right around that time I was getting an appreciation for rock music. Sure I saw The Beatles on Ed Sullivan when I was six but that didnâ€™t stir me like Woodstock. Right around this time FM radio with itâ€™s free form rock play lists were on the scene and the days of listening to MusicRadio 77 WABC and Cousin Brucie and Top 40 hits, were replaced with Scott Muni and the Night Bird Allison Steele on WNEW-FMÂ playing full albums by the Rolling Stones, The Kinks and The Doors.

Â

After watching the footage from Max Yasgurâ€™s farm I decided at 11 years old, no more hair cuts, no more listening to the man,Â I was going to be the worldâ€™s youngest revolutionary. That lasted about three days when my father laid down the law and gave me a real good attitude adjustment.

Â

So here it is 40 years later and I still listen to rock music, I still donâ€™t take orders well and I always question authority. The biggest difference is I get whatâ€™s left of my hair buzzed every two weeks. Three out of four ainâ€™t bad!

Â

I wish Ed (Grey Goose) Coleman gave his Mets reports as well as he writes his blog on WFAN. This entry on Easy Ed going to Woodstock is a must read.Â

Last night on Pro Baseball Central we discussed whether Omar and Jerry Manuel will be back next year and the possibility of the Skill Sets selling a part of the team due to the Madoff fall out. Listen to podcast here by clicking out the icon on top or at our Pro Baseball Central site.

For more of the Skill Sets money woes, checkout the chat that Post beat man Bart Hubbuch conducted yesterday. Get ready for a payroll lower than $100 mil next season.

I still have a big problem with Michael Vick not just for the cruelty he committed on those dogs but also in my opinion before this I felt he was very overrated. I donâ€™t get all the hoopla over where he will play and now that he is with the Iggels as a Giants fan am I supposed to be impressed? Well, Iâ€™m not.

Â

Iâ€™m going to $iti Field tomorrow and I guess Iâ€™ll bring the camera to see the additions of Mets Memories that supposedly have been added and the Throwbackâ€™s the boys will be wearing. My question is, Iâ€™m guessing they will wear matching cream color pants but what about the caps? I will laugh my ass of if Charlie Samuels sends them out with the awful black/blue billed caps. If youâ€™re going to Throwback, throwback all the way!
